All Chapters of The CEO silenced me with a Kiss: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Susan, let's break up for now," her boyfriend Xavier said. Susan was stunned, and then she relaxed. It was the first of April. She picked her glass of wine elegantly with her slender fingers and sipped. Xavier had a good sense of humor. "Good one Xavier, playing April fool on me? Please don't joke with something like that next time. It's too scary," she sighed. Being with Xavier for two years, she had grown to love him even though they didn't quite agree on many things but he was understanding. Seemingly, his next words shattered her heart, throwing them into a bin. He pressed his hand onto her free hand on the table, as he looked around the luxury restaurant. The couples around seemed to be in love but he couldn't say the same for himself. "I'm sorry Susan but I'm not joking. I'm in love with someone else and she's pregnant for me." The wine in her hand dropped, and the glass broke. Her cream dress was stained with red wine but it was her heart bleeding. Her left hand underneath h

'He is joking right?' Susan studied Andrew's facial expression as she went on to infer. 'No, he looks serious.' “Why do you want to stay?” She asked curiously. Andrew didn't know how to explain it to her. It was too early to know exactly what he wanted but for now, he needed a new place after being kicked out of the previous one. "It's not what you think. I'm homeless at the moment and just need a place for a few days till I get a job. It’s a sad thing that no one wants to befriend a poor man." Susan shook her head a little remorsed, the corner of her lips forming a smirk. "What kind of job do you want?" She was hoping that he would mention something in line with marketing, finance or anything in relation to her knowledge, but was thrown off-guard by his answer. "I don't have any qualifications so perhaps, cleaning, washing, ironing and cooking?" Susan’s brows knitted together and he realized that she didn't believe a word he was saying and stopped. He tried to hold her hand but s

Susan was awakened by her phone ringing. It was barely an hour since she went to bed. Befuddled, she answered the phone."Hey, will you meet us at the club?" It was Amelia."Club? Why?" Susan went blank."Don't tell me you've forgotten and are you sleeping already? We are supposed to go find him yeah," Amelia reminded her about her proposal to search for Andrew."Oh, that, I did. He's here," Susan chuckled. It was interesting how Amelia was willing to help with it. She had always been quiet concerning most of her relationships."What? How did it happen? Amelia asked, her voice sounding awed."I found him on the street on my way home.""Alright, good night then. We shall have a few drinks and go home," Amelia retorted but there was some kind of relaxation in her voice."Don't get drunk," Susan cautioned."Don't worry. Pete and Jason are here," Amelia assured her."Alright, have fun," Susan said and hung up.After the short conversation, she went back to sleep. The next day was Monday so

Susan was sending a report to her direct boss via email when Mrs Smith stepped into her office, taking a seat in front of her. Susan didn't want to hear anymore about the increment but accorded the woman her utmost respect by giving her the listening ear. "Susan, there was a review of all staff in our branch last week and the report from the appraisals we did sent to the head office. I was queried for being biased because the directors from there thought you haven't been treated fairly." The woman paused, taking in her facial expressions but Susan showed none, just listening attentively. She has had great admiration for her immediate boss because he was very respectable. He never hit on any girl in the office, rather taking his job seriously, though a greater portion was always done by Susan but she felt it helped her to improve and never complained. She loved her job. "But Mr Grant is a good man and does his job well." "That's true but measuring by performance, you are doin

The night couldn't get worse for Andrew, as he swirled his neck to the right, gazing at the woman who's attention was rather focused on Susan when she pulled a chair and sat beside them, legs crossed. Her charcoal black silky hair was held in a ponytail and she wore a black luxurious dress that gave her an elegant look. Her lips glowed with a coat of lip gloss and she looked pretty. It seemed that Andrew had a gross attraction to beautiful things. Among the women he tested, this woman was the richest among them yet the most stingy to him. Susan was uncomfortable with the woman's guts, wondering what gave her the audacity to join them. The woman accessed Susan and nodded her head appreciatively, before facing Andrew, her Caramel eyes gazing mockingly at him. "Who is she, Andrew? Another me?" She asked, clasping her hands together. "Andrew, what is she talking about?" Susan was getting anxious. She was smart enough to crack the meaning of the woman's words. Andrew was either a
